I want to get an AC adaptor, and for some reason the AC adaptors from japan are a lot cheaper. So, if I get an AC adaptor, can I use it on my VB from USA?

Geez Bob, hell of a screen name. A Japanese adapter tap will work in an American VB, its the power adaptor that it connects to that has be American.

Ok thanks boss. That was my original guess. I was wondering if batteries in JP carried the same voltage and my guess was yes. But yeah then it makes sense it’s the AC adaptor that converts the 120V into 8V or whatever it is that the VB runs on so that makes sense. So even if Japan ran on a different AC voltage (which I’m not sure if they do or not), it would still work in both areas – I see now, makes sense.

Do you like the screen name? It’s a homage to the Tourette’s guy if you know what that’s all about.

I do indeed, I was an early Tourette’s Guy fan from back in the “is it real?” days. “OH BOB SAGET, SHIT! ” I don’t know how many others will get the reference though lol.

Hahhaa, exactly. Coupled “BOB SAGET!” with the “who’s the faggot with the tuba?!” was the inspiration for the name. Some people may just get offended, I may just create another account.
